J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris plus d'une semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Dallas, TX) en juil. 2015
Entretien
There were two phone interviews then a face to face interview that Amazon bring me in to process. The face to face was a half day event meeting several people.

Question 1
I was not provided any feedback as to why I was not selected however when I met the on-site manager for facility I interview with it was obvious that they was not as technical as the Job description required. When I asked basic subnetting and VLAN questions they had no idea what I was talking about. So I fear the reason I was not selected was because I was possibly over qualified... I am just not sure. That is why corporations should provide feedback so a candidate can work on areas that they maybe weak in, since I received no feedback I have no idea what the real reasons were for a no offer. It worked out for the best in the end.
Il processo di selezione per la posizione di IT Manager in Amazon è stato intenso, professionale e ben organizzato. Dopo aver inviato la candidatura online, sono stato contattato da un recruiter entro due settimane per un primo colloquio conoscitivo. In questa fase si è parlato molto dei Leadership Principles di Amazon e di come le mie esperienze pregresse potessero rifletterli.
Successivamente ho sostenuto un colloquio tecnico con un IT Manager. Le domande vertevano sulla gestione dell'infrastruttura IT, il monitoraggio dei sistemi, la risposta agli incidenti e la leadership tecnica all'interno di team distribuiti.
L’ultima fase è stata un loop di colloqui (virtuali), dove ho parlato con 4 diversi interlocutori tra manager e stakeholder tecnici. Qui si sono concentrati soprattutto su casi pratici (tipo STAR) e situazioni di leadership, problem solving, gestione delle priorità e capacità di adattamento in ambienti in rapida evoluzione.
Nel complesso, è stata un’esperienza stimolante che mi ha permesso di comprendere meglio le aspettative di Amazon e il suo approccio orientato alla cultura aziendale. Consiglio a chiunque stia affrontando questo percorso di prepararsi bene sui Leadership Principles, di usare esempi concreti e di essere pronto a spiegare decisioni tecniche e manageriali in modo dettagliato.
It was thorough with multiple interviews involving multiple HR Reps. It wasn't stressful though compared to other IT job interviews. The job wasn't for me, but I recommend all to go for it.

Most of the questions are sent by your recruiter to prepare. Amazon is big on their leadership principles. Each question they ask is linked to a Leadership Principle if you review each of them and structure your answers to incorporate these then you should be good.
